The problem has been solved. My ISP found the solution. I used tcpdump and found out that sendmail was sending packets to the nameserver. My ISP's admin told me to put the line "domain tomsk.su" into /etc/resolf.conf. I have done it and sendmail does not dial out any more. I posted here my ppp configs recently, so if you are going to use them, do not forget the "domain" statement in /etc/resolv.conf otherwise you will experience this problem too. Or shall I repost the configs? -- Victor Sudakov http://www.tomsk.su/r/persons/vas.htm
